It seems that the Royal Netherlands Army (what is left of it) will have an open day at Oirschot on 11 (family and schools), 12 and 13 may 2012.

Battle tanks will be one Leopard 2A6, which is still in use as balast for training low loader drivers and some Leopard 1s

There are still some Buffel recovery tanks and the infantry got the Leopard 1 recovery tank since they have CV90s.

There always some Apaches, Cougars and Chinooks for the demonstrations on the Oirschotse Heath and at the nearby Eindhoven Air Base is a HQ for the European Airlift Wing which gives sometimes nice military visitors. At the friday you make a good change to see a IL-76.
